I was pondering today, how exactly would this work.

If the market is controlled only by players, where would players acquire the Items to be sold in the Market?

In order to have a sustainable economy in DUST, players would need a method harvesting resources, researching technology, and producing the infantry gear and vehicles we would expect to see in the market.

Is the goal to only have EVE players manufacture DUST infantry Vehicles and Gear? What happens when EVE players decide to arbitrarily drive up the cost of Infantry Items to the Point of DUST players not being able to afford them? Would everyone without EVE contacts or Corp Members, or a PC ISK farm be forced to use only Starter fits? This would elevate the current Epidemic of Protostomping into Pandemic status.

What are some of your thoughts on this, CCP? What direction are you taking when the implementation of a Player market becomes a reality?

EVE Online, man.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to build things in a shooter? Just let the EVE players do it.

And please don't anyone start spouting ******** bullshit about how EVE players will make GEK's 3 million each just to spite us.

People who do industry are in it for the MONEY. If they don't make MONEY they go bankrupt. Therefore it is in the best interest of all the players producing assets to make them affordable so that we will buy them and they will make money.

This is ground-floor basic economics people. Stop being scared of getting worked over and look at the big picture.

EVE industrialists are so well off, and wellsupplied that money isn't a factor to most.

I crash frigate and cruiser markets just for the lulz bud, 3 million geks could happen quite easily.

Inverse of that is the struggling or new indy player who will chase the infantry market and realize that it's going to be heavily saturated with high high supply and steady demand. Profits will be razor thin to the point that a lot if players will stop feeding it. Then equilibrium the under supply b then over. ...repeat until the end if time.

Now granted the second case might be more in DUST players favor, but the price will still be set by EVE.

It's ugly and unsightly and I really don't see it going that smooth ever, EVE side DUST production but we'll find iut

Dust players should be just as susceptible to market manipulation as EVE players.
It's all New Eden.
